Voltaire said the secret of being a bore is to tell everything.
The Internet may have told you everything.
For you, the Internet is complete, as in The Nine Billion Names of God complete. Time for you to wait for the stars to wink out, one by one.
Or maybe you are full of whatever the Internet has given you and can’t take in anymore. Step away from the device and take a break. Talk to someone IRL and...
If you have time to chatter, read books.
If you have time to read, walk into mountain, desert and ocean.
If you have time to walk, sing songs and dance.
If you have time to dance, sit quietly, you happy lucky idiot.

- akudha 6y agoI don’t believe the internet has told me everything. This planet, life and the universe has infinite interesting things to look at, learn etc. I think the internet tells me things that are profitable to those telling me those things. And it is caught up in the loop of things like ad dollars, lifestyle biz etc. That is why it is boring. If people created stuff based on passion instead of profit, it would become interesting again
- imhoguy 6y agoThere may be some truth here. For a few years now whenever I come up with an idea about new software project I find someone already did it and shared on public Git repo. Internet is definitely saturating. I miss my 90s unplugged days with Turbo Pascal and programming books.
